Grammy Grants: Archiving and Preservation Projects
http://www.grammymuseum.org/programs/grants-program
The GRAMMY Museum Grant Program awards grants to organizations and individuals to support efforts that advance the archiving and preservation of the music and recorded sound heritage of the Americas. The Archiving and Preservation area has two funding categories. To determine under which category of preservation grant you should apply, please click **here**. A. Preservation Implementation: $20,000 Maximum Award B. Assistance, Assessment and/or Consultation: $5,000 Maximum Award

Potential Construction Grants Karpeles Manuscript Museum in Buffalo http://www.rain.org/~karpeles/ is consolidating collections.
We have been talking for a year or so now about an archives grant but in reality I think we need multiple grants. Here is a list:
1) Create a storage area with proper environmental controls. We also need to furnish this area.
2) Write a grant to preserve, process and promote the Stefan Zweig Collection.
3) Write a grant to preserve, process and promote the Sigurd Rascher Saxophone Collection.
4)Create a reading room and exhibit area that includes facilities for students to work with archival collections. Fredonia is rather unique in that we encourage undergraduates to use archival materials, so perhaps we can capitalize on this aspect of involvement with the grant.
5) It would also be nice to find a naming grant/endowment to pay for salaries and supplies associated with the archive.
6) Write a grant to create a traveling exhibit of materials on Stefan Zweig, Rascher or the Coalition on West Valley Nuclear Waste.
If we were to put together a team to work on these I would recommend Barbara Kittle, Wildy Zumwalt, Bierger Wanweisenbeck, someone from history and someone from facilities.
I look forward to working with you on these projects.

Digitizing Historical Records: The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals that use cost-effective methods to digitize nationally significant historical record collections and make the digital versions freely available online. http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/digitizing.html
For Next Year: Documenting Democracy: Access to Historical Records Projects. The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals that promote the preservation and use of the nation's most valuable archival resources. Projects should expand our understanding of the American past by facilitating and enhancing access to primary source materials. The Commission will support such activities as establishing archives programs, processing archival collections at the basic or detailed levels, surveying and accessioning archival records, and converting existing archival collection finding aids to new online formats. Applicants may submit proposals for one or any combination of the following four project categories: (see site) http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/access.html
Restricted in scope but worth looking at: Electronic Records Projects.
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals that will increase the capacity of archivists and archival repositories to create electronic records archives that preserve records of enduring historical value. The NHPRC supports efforts by archivists and records managers to meet the challenges of electronic records. Projects to increase repository capacity must involve institutions that have already established archives and records management programs. http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/electronic.html
Small Money: Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions.
Preservation Assistance Grants help small and mid-sized institutions—such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities—improve their ability to preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. These may include special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, historical objects, and digital materials. http://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/preservation-assistance-grants-smaller-institutions
Need SUNY Fredonia buy-in: NEA Challenge Grants: NEH challenge grants are capacity-building grants, intended to help institutions and organizations secure long-term improvements in and support for their humanities programs and resources. Through these awards, many organizations and institutions have been able to increase their humanities capacity and secure the permanent support of an endowment. Grants may be used to establish or enhance endowments or spend-down funds that generate expendable earnings to support and enhance ongoing program activities. Challenge grants may also provide capital directly supporting the procurement of long-lasting objects, such as acquisitions for archives and collections, the purchase of equipment, and the construction or renovation of facilities needed for humanities activities. Funds spent directly must be shown to bring long-term benefits to the institution and to the humanities more broadly. Grantee institutions may also expend up to 10 percent of total grant funds (federal funds plus matching funds) to defray costs of fundraising to meet the NEH challenge. Because of the matching requirement, these NEH grants also strengthen the humanities by encouraging nonfederal sources of support. http://www.neh.gov/grants/challenge/challenge-grants
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation: Digital Information Technology. This is good for a couple of reasons, the first being that you only have to write a letter of inquiry to get the ball rolling. Second, these folks like making things available to the public.
Here's the blurb from their website: Universal Access to Knowledge Grants in this program support the digitization of scientific and cultural knowledge and aim to preserve the openness and accessibility of all such knowledge for the widest public benefit [my emphasis]. Major grants have gone to the Internet Archive, with its huge scanning and storage capacity; the Open Content Alliance, a consortium of over 100 universities, libraries, and scientific and cultural organizations committed to placing all their scanned materials into a common open digital repository; and Wikipedia, the largest encyclopedia in history, the fifth largest website in the world, and a model of collaborative open source knowledge on the Web. Current grantmaking focuses on identifying and eroding the economic, legal, and institutional barriers to universal access to knowledge and on supporting efforts to create a Digital Public Library of America.
Read the Program DirectorDoron Weber's Bio. He's big into media obviously, but he was also the communications director at Rockefeller University and for the Society for the Right-to-Die. Interesting in its own right. But if you read him and their website, I think with your very capable writing skills, you will peak his interest in allowing you to send a follow-up proposal. Especially considering that you might pitch it with the forethought of joining the Open Content Alliance "a consortium of over 100 universities, libraries, and scientific and cultural organizations committed to placing all their scanned materials into a common open digital repository".

Next is National Leadership Grants for Librarieshttp://www.imls.gov/applicants/2013_nlg_libraries_guidelines.aspx#.UUyxWTdNHRM which if funded would be due in a year. It's asking for innovative research based projects. They do have planning grants for $50,000 and then grant up to $500,000. They want collaboration, societal relevance and national impact. This projects fits those, but we'd have to address the tech side in some detail.
Possibly: Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program Grants which emphasizes innovation in training the next generation of librarians. But give it a look and see if you think we might qualify for a planning grant: http://www.imls.gov/applicants/lb21_guidelines_2013.aspx#toc1
